Tad Williams best books, ranked

Tad Williams — 10 titles in the rankings, first published between 1985 and 2004. They average 7.9, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. 4 of the series have a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, the epic fantasy that George R. R. Martin has credited as an inspiration, follows Simon, a castle kitchen boy, into a war with ancient powers. The Dragonbone Chair starts slowly and rates lowest of the trilogy; the story builds to To Green Angel Tower, his highest rated (split into two volumes in some paperback editions). Otherland is a vast science fiction saga set in virtual reality; The Last King of Osten Ard continues the first saga.
